A buttress root is NOT called a prop root.
A buttress root is a big, thick, snake-like root that runs on the surface of the ground near the tree and helps to hold the tree firmly in place.
A prop root/stilt root is a root that grows out of a branch and grows down to the ground to enter into the earth and to help hold the plant steady.

A jet plane traveling at 500 mph overtakes a propeller plane traveling at 200 mph that had a 2 hour head startHow far from the starting point are the planes?
The prop job has a two-hour head-start, so is (200 x 2) = 400 miles in the lead when the jet starts out.The jet catches up by (500 - 200) = 300 miles per hour.The jet overtakes the prop in (400 / 300) = 4/3 hour after starting out.By that time, the jet has covered (500 x 4/3) = 2,000/3 miles.The prop has covered (400) + (200 x 4/3) = (400 + 800/3) = 2,000/3 miles.Fortunately for the math, they are in the same place ...2,000/3 = [666 and 2/3] miles from the starting point.
